About the Owner - Odyssey Hand Dance Academy

I grew up in Baltimore, MD, before joining the Air Force. I retired from the Service and settled in the Washington D.C. area, where I was introduced to Hand Dancing.

I studied under the famed instructor Lawrence "Brad" Bradford. I graduated from his "Smooth & EZ" Hand Dance Academy and later the "Simply Swing" Hand Dance Academy.

After studying Hand Dance for more than 10 years with some of the best Hand Dance instructors in the DC area, I founded the Odyssey Hand Dance Academy. My goal is to share what I have learned while making learning hand dancing easy and fun. Learning hand dancing with the Odyssey Hand Dance Academy is a journey of exploration. I invite you to join the ‘Odyssey’ and take your first steps or your next steps with me!
